thanks for my morning laugh.....
notice on your profile that you have a lot of info missing, AMW have a show with you on it did they. I know why you have nothing under age, and I am sure Chief can correct that and make age a three digit entry for them older folks most of us only need 2 spots.....lol......
Well, I'm not THAT old, but I have two Egyptian sarchoguses. One I was buried in, the first time I died. I decide to buy two, and get the additional discount. Got them from a guy that also sold used camels. I had accumulated massive debts from huge building projects. So they had me revived, many years later, so I could continue to pay off the debts. So don't be fooled into thinking that your debts go away when you die.
Since I'm not using them at the moment, I converted my sarcophaguses into book storage. I'll show them to you, if you stop by on the way to the Drift In. Here's a pic of one of my many great great great great great great great great great grandsons (descendants) next to one of them.

- October 03, 2013, 07:50:41 AMYou young whipper-snappers think yer so smart. You know nothing. My first house was built in 1904 and came complete with a mummified cat in the wall. I found this out when I became the new owner and gutted most of the insides to redo the whole thing. The inside walls were crumbling plaster/lathe. Much of the house still had the old knob and tube wiring. Not many of you know what that is, you young bean sprouts. I had to quickly rewire the place, as small fires were starting in the outlet, switch, and fixture boxes, because the cloth insulation on the wire was crumbling away. The little insulation in the walls was rolled up newspaper. . . very old crumbling newspaper. I also found some old coins in the framing, I guess from the workmen. . . coins from 1900 to 1903 or so.
I only had one wife at the time. I attended many cult meetings as a way to form my own cult business plan.

cut a small hole in the floor, in the direction of the joists, make the jack level with the floor or just under the floor level, false top to cover the lift.......we have the next 7 days as non-paid days so I'll be home and mmmmmm skill saw, sawsall, zip saw, air nailer and cordless screwdriver....and 7 days ......
You won't believe this, but when I was spec'ing my house to be built years, ago, I was thinking of adding this. Cheap to do when the house is being built.

Pull the handle out, and cover it with a bear skin or something. Then you can just drive your bike over it and easily jack it up!

- October 01, 2013, 15:59:09 PM never thought of the blocks of wood but that is a bang on idea....lol......as for the lifts that seem to fit really well and easy under the bike, I have yet to see them being slide under the bike,.

- October 01, 2013, 15:05:02 PMI built my own lift adapter for my bike lift. The lift itself will barely fit under the bike; with the adapter on, it will not go under the bike. I solved that problem by putting a piece of 2x6 about a foot long and tapered on one end on the floor in front of both tires, roll the bike up on those, and then the jack slides right under. I' would like to know what bike lift that guy who sells the adapters uses; it looks to be a lower model than any I have seen.

- September 29, 2013, 15:25:25 PMit works really well and once you put the safety lock into the first spot it is really stable and steady. never have to worry about the bike falling over or anything. Only con is that it is a heavy piece of kit to move around under the bike and takes a bit to use.
